The Games

I don't know how much of the Olympic Games I'll catch once it begins later this week.

It seems like only yesterday when London was hosting. 2012 was the year I enjoyed the Games the most. I don't think it's mainly because it was fairly local to me. I think it's due to how much content was available to watch on TV.

I would wake up and watch rifle shooting and archery - things I hadn't cared for before nor, if I'm to be straight up, after those Games.

I'd like to watch those again this time around. If I can. 

Even though 2012 was the year I threw myself into watching as much I could, I still have to give a shout out to Barcelona '92. 

Loved that year as well what with the USA's Dream Team and Chris Boardman's winning of a gold medal on the Lotus bicycle. I remember seeing that bike and thinking the future had arrived. 

Chris Boardman - Barcelona 1992

Just look at it. Then consider the time. It looked so futuristic. Heck, even the helmet looked out of this world.
